Our Pink Oyster grow kit is a 5 lb block fully colonized with first-generation Pleurotus djamor, the tropical oyster with vivid pink clusters. Cut the bag, mist daily and keep it warm, and it's one of the fastest kits we sell.
Bright pink, ruffled clusters that make any counter look like a farmers' market display.
A tropical species that thrives at 72–82°F, right where most oysters start to struggle.
Firm and meaty when seared hard, with a savory flavor that works in tacos, pizza and stir-fries.
The hard parts of mushroom growing (sterilization, inoculation and colonization) are done before the block ships. Your job is to trigger fruiting and keep the surface from drying out.
Make one slit across the face of the block as shown in the instructions. Fresh air on the mycelium is the signal to stop feeding and start fruiting.
Lightly mist the cut face once or twice a day with the included mister. Keep the surface from drying out; don't leave standing water.
Give it about 12 hours of indirect light a day and good air circulation. Stale air makes long stems with small caps.
Pick the cluster as soon as the caps are developed, before they flatten and turn upward. Then stop misting for about a week before the next flush.
Warmth comes first: Pink Oyster needs roughly 72°F or above to fruit properly. Below about 70°F it slows sharply and can stall completely. If a block seems stuck, move it somewhere warmer before changing anything else.
Get more from your kitA Tabletop Humidity Tent holds moisture around the block so you mist less and get fuller clusters, especially in dry winter air. Ready to grow Pink Oyster from scratch? Start with our Pink Oyster liquid culture syringe.
Fast, as long as it's warm. At 78°F it races; at 65°F it may barely move. Expect pins within the first week or so in a warm room.
No. The kit is designed to fruit in open room air with daily misting. In dry homes, especially in winter with forced-air heat, a humidity tent holds moisture around the block so you mist less often and get fuller clusters.
Most blocks give multiple flushes totaling 2.5–3 lb wet weight. Rest the block for about a week between flushes. Pink Oysters keep only a few days after harvest, so cook them promptly.
Spores. Pink Oyster drops more spores than most species once the caps flatten and turn upward. Harvest a little earlier, while the edges are still curled down, and check the block twice a day once pinning starts.
Indoors is strongly preferred. The block needs steady temperatures and protection from wind, direct sun and insects; fungus gnats find an exposed block quickly. A kitchen counter, bathroom shelf or any spot out of direct sunlight works well.
The kit is already colonized and ready to fruit, so there's no sterile work. Our Pink Oyster liquid culture syringe is for growers who make their own grain spawn and want to scale up or run multiple grows.
Love this Mushroom! So pretty and grows so well in the Summer!
Initially this was missing from my original order. I contacted CS and they immediately shipped it out. Really great Customer Service! Just waiting for it to colonize.
I ordered a pink oyster and shitake kit and my shiitake is almost pinning but my Pink oyster took off! I cut a small flap in the bag and within a week the first cluster was forming, a week later I have literally 1.6 pound mushroom cluster! Dinner!!
I only have positive things to say. I enjoy the product, so much that we have gifted 2 so far. One to my mother and one to a friend. We really are excited.
The Pink Oyster is one of three kits I purchased for my first grow. This one was actually a mystery kit. I placed the Pink Oyster kit in a Martha tent on 10/30/22. I noticed the first signs of pinning on 11/02/22 and harvest was ready on 11/08/22. The first flush netted 14.5 oz of beautiful mushrooms. I was going to rest the block for a couple of weeks but noticed the second round of pins taking off on 11/17/22. At the time of this review, I haven't harvested the second flush. I'm very impressed and happy with this kit. Growing was easy and I'm happy with the harvest. The Pink Oysters do taste like bacon.
